Record high for 8 consecutive years University admission rate 57.7%
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's 2023 School Basic Survey (confirmed figures) revealed that the undergraduate admission rate at universities in the spring of 57.7 will reach 2023%, a new record high. This is an increase of 1.1 points from the previous year, marking the 8th consecutive year of record highs. Okinawa Prefecture had the highest rate of advancement at 53.5%, ranking first in the Kyushu region.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the rate of admission to regular courses at junior colleges is 0.3%, down 3.4 points from the previous year, the rate of admission to vocational schools is 0.6%, down 21.9 points from the previous year, and the rate of admission to four years at technical colleges is unchanged from the previous year at 4%. %, but due to the increase in the rate of admission to undergraduate departments at universities, the rate of admission to higher education institutions as a whole increased by 1.0 points from the previous year to 0.2%.
As the 18-year-old population declines, this is thought to be due to the increasing preference of young people for four-year universities, the spread of new educational support systems, and the increase in the number of students entering university from correspondence high schools.
Looking at the results by prefecture, Okinawa Prefecture had the highest rate of increase in university entrance rates since last time, at 53.5% (an increase of 3.5 points, ranking first in the Kyushu region). Furthermore, Yamanashi Prefecture's male university entrance rate was 1%, ranking first in the nation. This is largely due to the increase in the number of students entering university from correspondence high schools.
沖縄県の通信制高校から大学短大の通信教育部を除く大学等進学者は、2021年度間1,625人（男子862、女子763）から2022年度間1,918人（男子992、女子926）と大きく伸びている。山梨県は、2021年度間577人（男子367、女子210）から2022年度間787人（男子492、女子295）と男子の進学者数が大きくなっている。
Since the number of students entering university from correspondence high schools is expected to increase further in the future, it will be necessary to review the way statistics are collected by prefecture from next year onwards.
The rate of current university admissions is from top to bottom Tokyo (71.3%), Kyoto prefecture (69.6%), and Kanagawa prefecture (65.5%). ) Kyoto prefecture ranks first in the nation with Kyoto prefecture (73.0%), Tokyo (72.8%), and Kanagawa prefecture (68.1%).
Furthermore, the rate of university (undergraduate) graduates going on to graduate school, etc. was 12.5%, only 0.1 percentage points higher than the previous year, and the increase was smaller compared to the rate of university admissions.
